The Wife is at Deeper Still at the Coliseum with her sister and nieces, so I slipped downtown after dark for this shot. I didn’t bother going around back. It seems to me this would be the favored side.
I’m missing three bottom floors, but I’d think the higher ones would go first. [...]
Our intrepid agency rep just returned from setting up new business and ran into some nabob with an opinion about our RDC printing problems. He said we needed to install every printer driver being used remotely on our server. I doubted it and knew if it were true, we were sunk. Nothing [...]
From John Hammer at The Rhino Times:
Groat did not dispute the fact that her company owed Pegram-West $362,000, nor did she dispute the fact that she signed a personal guaranty for $250,000 in 1989. In fact, the jury was given a copy of that document during the trial. Groat in her testimony said that since [...]
For anyone keeping score, Keith Brown, ably aided by Dr. David Wharton, has handed the TREBIC members their hats at Triad Watch. The pro-development bloggers made some rookie mistakes and came out with the puffed-up rhetoric of the truly afraid, but generally acquitted themselves well. Thus fortified, they have now made an appearance [...]
Steve Harrison comments on a statement made by Ed Cone years go and re-iterated:
“most places developers just put their pawns in place, here they serve openly.”
Not trying to draw the focus away from Greensboro/Guilford, but this really is a state-wide problem. Regardless of their “declared” occupation, a whole bunch of General Assembly members are (also) [...]
Why, after all this time, does the News & Record continue to subject its readers to the pompous fool who is Thomas Friedman?
Last April I took a break to caddy for the former U.S. Open champion Andy North when he teamed up with Tom Watson to defend their title in the two-man Liberty Mutual Legends [...]
Gerald Witt at the N&R has the sad update on the vice chairman’s 2007 bankruptcy.
This is an old story, barely worth mentioning except for one thing: more developers elected to office at the County and City levels will be filing Chapter 11. I’m not even concerned about that. Shit happens. Seek [...]
From news@norman:
Lincoln Times-News Managing Editor Frank Taylor said that he filed a complaint with the Lincolnton Police Department late Monday afternoon alleging that Jon Mayhew, spokesman for Sheriff Tim Daugherty and operator of a Lincolnton website, plagiarized almost word-for-word on his website (www.carolinascoop.com) portions of the newspaper’s account of a recent murder trial.
“I [...]
From the Triad Biz Journal:
Nearly 305,000 Nationwide Mutual Insurance Co. policyholders in North Carolina may qualify for a class-action settlement involving claim payments dating back to 1996.
The class-action lawsuit alleges that from 1996 to March 20, 2009, Nationwide and its affiliated companies underpaid policyholders by not including general contractors’ overhead and profit when paying certain [...]
From Amanda Lehmert at the N&R:
City Councilwoman Sandra Anderson Groat, a former home builder, owes $250,000 plus attorney’s fees to a construction supply company, a Guilford County jury decided Tuesday.
Anderson Groat knew this opinion was pending when she filed for re-election to City Council. I don’t know about you, but I pay my bills. [...]
